Hello Australia
In 2022, Big Brother is exploding onto screens with an event 21 years in the making. You’ll never guess who’s turning up.
Some of Australia’s most-loved and memorable housemates in Big Brother history are returning to prove they are the greatest of all time, facing off against a new generation of players hungry to make their mark and take home victory. Whether they’ve played before or not, the housemates are about to discover Big Brother has a brand-new, bigger-than-ever game.
It’s been 21 years since Big Brother launched in Australia and to honour this momentous milestone, 2022 is going to deliver a massive celebration every step of the way.
New and returning housemates will laugh, cry, argue, share secrets and even fall in love; all while navigating Big Brother’s unpredictable game.
A total of 21 housemates, ranging in age from 22-52, will enter the house throughout the season with the aim of surviving every eviction and living together for 62 days. They’ll be cut off from the outside world in a custom-built house fitted with cameras and microphones recording their every move for 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The first night will see 11 new and exciting housemates enter the house, along with four housemates deemed Big Brother royalty.
After the dust settles on night one, more royalty will enter Big Brother’s house through a secret door.
With toe-curling panic room tasks, fabulous dinner parties, twisted punishments, agonising challenges and plenty of Big Brother bombshells, avoiding eviction will require wit, determination, stamina and a bulletproof strategy.
Host Sonia Kruger will be there every step of the way to question strategies and pick apart motives.
Ultimately three housemates will be left standing and, in a live Grand Final television event, Australia will vote to determine who deserves to win the $250,000 prize.
Will a returning housemate be able to survive all the way to the end? Or will a first-time housemate pave the way for a new look Big Brother winner?
Big Brother is produced by Endemol Shine Australia for the Seven Network.
What’s new
Head of House (HOH) vote
Each week the housemates will vote for one person to hold unprecedented power in the game. HOH will be safe from eviction all week. They will also have exclusive access to the HOH Suite with two friends of their choice. The housemates cannot be HOH two weeks running, but they can be HOH multiple times.
Head of House power twist
The HOH will be granted a unique and strategic power during the week, to influence the game and the nominations.
Second chance challenges
For the first time on Big Brother , the nominated housemates will have a chance to save themselves by competing in a physical challenge in the lead-up to the final eviction each week. These nail-biting challenges will require courage, strength and smarts to conquer, as the nominees battle it out with absolute desperation and determination.
Themed weeks
Housemates will be confronted with a new set of challenges and surprises every week including Battle Week, Party Week, Hacked Week, and Temptation Week. No week is like the other, meaning the housemates won’t know what’s hit them.
What’s back
